MKVcleaver is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for mkvtoolnix, designed to extract data from MKV files. It can be used in a batch mode (loading and extracting data from many files) as well as single file mode. It has a simple GUI interface, but a lot of functionality. Requires mkvtoolnix / mkvextract.

I like this tool, although I used MKVExtractGUI before, this one is faster (uses multiple CPU cores) and has a pleasant interface, and a bit more functions. It also has x64 support.
However version 0.6.0.6 doesn't work (at least for me it didn't) with latest mkvtoolnix 7.6.0 (x64), so if you have the same issue (doesn't work and must shut down) stick with v0.6.0.5 which works just fine.

I really like the user interface and ease of use.
The only problem I have with it is that it does not honor the output directory that I selected.
The program indicated that it was finished but the file was output to MKVCleaver's own directory under a subfolder that it created with many sub-subfolders inside of that.It was a real head scratcher until I finally found the output file, haha!

Allow us to disable the tags added to the end of the file name ie: _Track02(EN) I need for my subtitles to have the same name as the video so its a pain to have to rename them all for just a few letters.

Also make an option that allows you to set the current directory of the input files as output (like mkvextract gui does)

For those new to MKVcleaver, it requires MKVToolNix to work. Unfortunately, the latest version of MKVToolNix (6.7.0) breaks MKVcleaver (0.6.0.2). It extracts streams as an unknown file type rather then giving them the correct extension.

Fortunately though, you can have multiple versions of MKVToolNix on a PC. As well as an installer, there's portable versions of MKVToolNix which you can simply download, unzip and run. The latest version which works with MKVcleaver is version 6.6.0. Simply download it, upzip it to a folder, then copy the folder somewhere (ie to the folder where MKVcleaver resides). Run MKVcleaver and use the "Locate MKVToolNix" button to tell it to use the correct version of MKVToolNix. That way if you want to, you can still have a newer version of MKVToolNix "installed" to use for everything else, while MKVcleaver uses the version which keeps it happy. Hopefully MKVcleaver will be updated sometime soon to fix the problem, but until then, you can find older versions of MKVToolNix on the MKVToolNix page on this site.http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVtoolnix/old-versions#download

1. When you load a file it doesn't show the subtitle or chapters as extractable streams, although you can extract them
2. Why the heck doesn't it extract to current folder as default? There isn't a setting for this either.

Does not work with the latest mkvtoolnix.
In fact I don't know if it works at all, I'm not going to download different versions of mkvtoolnix to test. A shame since the GUI has always been great as well as the functionality.
